Swartz Creek strikes again!

We'd be almost disappointed if a Swartz Creek game didn't win a MLive.com Game of the Week poll, given the history.

Swartz Creek voters dominated our polls during football season, and it's been the same during basketball season.

This week's Swartz Creek at Fenton boys game easily won the weekly Flint Journal poll and now has won our statewide MLive.com Game of the Week poll by fending off the Romulus-Detroit Country Day boys game, a matchup of top state powers.

The Swartz Creek-Fenton game led from the start in lively voting, finishing with 369 of 1,342 votes, or 27.5 percent.

The Romulus-Country Day game drew 311 votes, or 23.2 percent. That was far ahead of the third-place game, Grand Rapids Catholic Central at Wayland Union girls, that had 180 votes or 13.4 percent.

Our statewide poll started Monday, asking voters to select one of eight MLive.com Games of the Week being played Friday.

The statewide poll victory means the live chat for the Swartz Creek-Fenton game, scheduled for 7:30 p.m., by the Flint Journal sports staff, will now get maximum exposure on our high school home page.

We know about the Swartz Creek voting contingent, but the Flint Metro League game really is good one, too. Swartz Creek, 10-1 on the season - is trying to avenge its only loss of the season to Fenton, which is undefeated at 13-0.

The Flint Journal's Eric Woodyard writes that Fenton has been a nemesis for Swartz Creek for years now.

We have 10 regional MLive.com polls on the website ending Saturday that will determine which games get our top-notch Game of the Week coverage for games of Feb. 5-8.

Our improved phone apps, iPhone and Android, will let you join those chats from the field, as well as keep up with all of our scores. We'll be updating scores for these games, and many more statewide, every night there is action this fall.
